Did Captain Fritz show Mr Oswald a Mauser?

[John Iacoletti]

The WC investigation against Oswald was only biased in the sense that all the evidence pointed toward his guilt.

 

  Katzenbach may have felt that it was important that the public be convinced of Oswald's guilt not due to any frame up but because Oswald was guilty and there were risks that nutty CTers could convince the public that a foreign power was behind the assassination and start WWIII on a false premise.

And Katzenbach (and Hoover) may have started with a foregone conclusion so that there wouldn't be a real investigation.

Oswald was offered legal representation

 

Not until after he was interrogated several times and arraigned.  And both Captain King and Justice of the Peace Johnston blatantly lied to Gregory Lee Olds of the ACLU on Saturday, telling him that Oswald had not made any requests for counsel.

So you claim after not having provided a single speck of evidence or basis for this assertion.  Ever.

No proof needed; this is a discussion forum not a formal debate nor a court of law.

That's your interpretation. It doesn't mean you're right. I will always take everything that Oswald-cultists say with a good deal of salt.

The whole thing was a sham, Bill. Once Lee was dead and buried, they pretty much could say whatever they wanted to and the end result proves this. Hoover said they had to lead the public and K-Bach pretty much said the same thing. Even Dan Rather, supposedly NOT working for the government as an "independent" news man, started spreading the lies too on national TV Sunday night - again after Lee was dead.

It was all a very corrupt whitewash. The real truth was never going to be revealed and the murder of Oswald pretty much made their jobs very easy to do because there was no dissenting voice that we would have heard and seen during a real trial.

That's it. It's all over now. Poor dumb cop.

There is nothing inconsistent or sinister about the investigators concluding from the evidence that Oswald was guilty and suggesting that they wanted the public to be convinced of his guilt.  The WC had a dual role.  Investigate the crime and satisfy the American public that the anyone involved in the assassination of the President had been brought to justice.  The investigation confirmed that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin and there was no credible evidence that he was involved in any conspiracy.  That remains the case nearly 60 years later.
